Summary:
Sepulveda believed that Indians were barbaric, yet de las Casas saw that Sepulveda ideals were wrong. Both of two writers saw the Indians needed to be converted in order to save them. They saw that the Christian/ Catholic Church can save the Indians from their uncivilized life. However de las Casas argue that Sepulveda cannot justify in calling the Indians barbaric because there was a point in time where the Spanish was saw as barbaric by the Romans, so de las Casas argues about where could have the barbarism went for the Spanish. It states how the Spanish was once barbaric and how it is not right to be called barbaric. On the other hand, Sepulveda saw Indians were barbaric and Spaniards are given the right to use them and save them from their “uncivilized” lives. Spaniards high ego motivated them to capture and control the Indians for their own uses.
Notes on Portugal and Brazil Brazil: The First Plantation Colony MI: Predro Alvares Cabral, was the first official leader went on an expedition to India where he stopped on Brazilian land exposing him to the new beginning of Portuguese colonization.
little attention was put on the the Americas till French competitors gave the Portuguese military action
captaincies: nobles who had strong feudal power had the desire to expand
relations with the Native Americans were peaceful
the Portuguese also brought over African slaves
in 1549 - Portuguese King brought over people to create a royal capital in Salvador ; Jesuit missionaries arrived also
the area was growing with life where more cities were being created thus causing the numbers of people to exponentially increase
comercial trading expanded
Sugar and Slavery MI: Sugar became a growing producer in Brazil as well as the use of slavery to increase production.
agriculture and the industry worked together where machinery advanced to benefit processing sugar
by 17th century there were around 7,000 African slaves in a 150,000 slave population
social structure became base on occupation; white planter families became an aristocracy how ever the laborers were at the lower classes and the population of mixed origins were increasing
Portugal created a Bureaucratic system in the colonies were a governor general ruled but in each province there were regional rules
royal officials were trained in law to create the basis of the bureaucracy; connections with Brazil to Portugal became stronger coming to other relations
Brazil's Age of Gold MI: In Brazil a gold rush changes the economy and trading of Portugal.
competition in the economy cause the sugar industry to slowly fall but in 1695 gold strikes were made in the region called Minas Gerais
Paulistas were 17th century men in capturing Indians who would search for precious metals
With the gold rush over half the population of slavers were working in gold mines were production would reach about 3 tons of gold per year; this made Brazil a great source of Gold in the Western World
wealth of gold led to trading in new areas and creations of buildings in the colonies( churches)
Multiracial Societies MI: The colonization in Latin America combines the different racial groups of Indians, Europeans, and Africans creating societies of multiracial families.
multiracial societies created relations of master and slaves
The Society of Castas MI: The social structure based on racial relations began to form with the sexual exploitation of the slaves.
usually the white master would force sex upon the Indian servants or slaves
exploitation was a growing cause affecting the mixed background population
sociedad de castas - social structure based on racial origins where whites on top where black and Native Americans were at the bottom ; nobles, priest, and commoners also had the social structure based on wealth and occupation
combination - mestizo mulatto . etc; growing diversity created confusion => thus created mixed origins,castas
restrictions and rules begin to change among the classes
Creoles dominated local economy with mines and plantation
social structure change with the basis ideals of gender, age, class with the ideal of race
women gain more power and the father of the family loses superiority faster
the lower class women were control by commerce in the towns usually working in villages; also women has full rights to inheritance
upper-class women however are not allow to marry at a young age; usually place in convents to prevent marriages that with other racial backgrounds
